You will have to talk to criminals, civilians, and the police. Make sure to practice effective listening and try to understand where people are coming from. Focus fully on the person who is talking and allow them to tell you what is going on from their perspective. Show them that you're paying attention and that you understand.

#Take a martial arts or self-defense class. While you shouldn't actively try looking for fights, learning how to defend yourself in serious situations is probably something that you should learn how to do. Criminals don't want to be caught for their criminal activity, and informing the police of their deeds may cause them to direct their anger towards you. Look for reputable martial arts or self-defense gyms in your area and consider signing up for classes.[[Image:Teach-Yourself-Martial-Arts-Step-3-Version-2.jpg|center]]
